Hi all

N00b over here. When my Pinebook boots (neon OS) it flashes the login page, then i get a blank black screen. 

Not sure how to cure this and haven't found anything in here yet, please point me in the right direction if I am being st00pid!

Thanks

Hello,
   I have a question/remark concerning the "choice" between emmc / SD or ssd. Currently, the regular price for emmc of 64GB is rather in the same order of magnitude to a ssd of 120GB NVME. If I am not wrong, the SSD has a better performance than emmc, therefore, if it were possible to boot from PCIE, does it worth using emmc ? I read in the forum that many attempts has been done but end with a mix emmc for boot and ssd for root. @pine64 team : is there a really possibility to make the rockpro64 boot from PCIE ?    

Best regards

I have had my board for 3 weeks. I have used all 3 offering of the ANDROID. Stock 7.1, 7.1 ATV and Oreo.  Are these the FINAL RELEASES for firmware for this board? The Android 7 has a 2017 security patch.... VERY DISSAPOINTING.  The things constantly crashing programs.  It really doesnt matter which app I run, it gets lost in la-la land and then offers close app/ wait/ send feedback dialog.  I get the same error sometimes in system process and then it just locks up.  
Hard to believe that the Popcorn transformer and rockbox were to have these as firmware.  I have seen much better just from cheap china tv boxes.
I had such high hopes for this as I have fried a few TV boxes flashing and reflashing new firmware (*rom) and wanted something that I could replace emmc or just boot from sd.  
None of the images have working GAPPS.....Hate the Android TV interface and have not seen any way to get notifications....
Armbian has worked and been very stable but was VERY saddened this board was not ready for primetime when it comes to ANDROID.  I really didnt need another linux machine.
I am hesitant to believe my prob is running it just from sd instead of emmc when Linux works so well. but I will be considering buying a emmc module just to try it.  
Things I wished this had was TWRP or a update installer that would allow you to just install open gapps and root it easily. Im sure I could do it the hard way with ADB.  but... things should be easier for users (translation customers)

I've installed F-30 with lightdm running openbox or xfce on a sopine. The following should work the LTS board as well. It should be possible to get his all to work on pine64+ boards by changing 'sopine_baseboard' to 'pine64_plus' in the installer command below

Steps:

1. follow the arm image creation (in a fedora environemt - I used an x86 vm for this) process found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architect...stallation with the aarch minimal image from here: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/alt/
   
2. I used
   
   
   Code:

   arm-image-installer --adconsole --image=Fedora-Minimal-29-1.2.aarch64.raw.xz --resizefs --media=/dev/<yourSDCard>
   
   
   
3. Boot into the newly created image with a UART console cable connected. Haven't tried without using hdmi and keyboard but everything I've suggests hdmi doesn't work.
   
4. Follow the system upgrade process found here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade and set releasever=30
   
5. Now that you're running f-30 run:
   
   
   Code:

   dnf grouplist -v
   
   
   
6. and pick the desktop environment (and anything else you want). I chose xfce and intalled it with:
   
   
   Code:

   sudo dnf install @xfce-desktop-environment
   
   
   
7. I also installed openbox with this:
   
   
   Code:

   sudo dnf install elestall openbox xbacklight feh conky xorg-x11-drv-libinput tint2 volumeicon xorg-x11-server-utils network-manager-applet
   
   
   

Which GPIO pins on the rockpro64 feature hardware PWM?

Hi all,

Please note that I've not delved into the matter properly (ie read the specs or look at the sizes) yet. But, conceivably, do you think at first glance it might be possible to fit the Rockpro64 Board inside the bottom case of the Pinebook? 14" model.

Thanks and regards,

Is there a way to read housekeeping information about the CPU (current clock speed, number of cores active, temperature)? I'm running longsleep Xenial 3.10.105 kernel.

Hi All:

I've installed the following CentOS 7 image onto an SD card which successfully boots the RockPro64 with 4 Gb RAM and eMMC card:

    Centos-7.4.1708 with kernel from Armbian-5.67.img.xz

It was downloaded directly from the Project31 GitHub web page:

    https://project31.github.io/pine64/

After first boot the /root/finish-centos-install.sh script was run to complete setup.

Then GNOME was installed with the following command which completes successfully:
    

I want to do a fade in and out of an LED while the board is in sleep mode.  I can easily do this in arduino, but would rather have the rockpro64 do it.  Is there anything the rockpro64 can do while asleep aside from wait for a signal to wake it up?

What should I do replace the storage from internal storage to SD card

My android phone can not give me the way, how to replace it

When I download a thing, the notification directly appears that your memory storage is full. Actually, I have plugged in my SD card

So, how to manage, what should I do
